MoD News Highlight
One thing that has annoyed me, forever in planetarion
<> which I've just accepted as a given
<> is that MoD's should have their News light up as people trade
<> and I think it should be changed
<> well I cant say that it will be changed, but I'll pass it on to the Powers That Be and see what they think about it
<> esp. when I'm the one trading, then it really is annoying
<> putting it in the politics section for reference would be nice
CofD suggested: Possibly make up a page which just displays trade history, only visible to the MoD. Because it's hard to manage trade with all the extra stuff in the news.
Now don't accuse me of using IRC logs on the forums, that's far from the truth

I think it's an IRC log where the original poster has been anonymized.

Re: MoD News Highlight

oh, and personally, i think that MoD's should have a link on the Mining Page
as otherwise all the skins would have to be modded

Why not add a complete history of all minister actions with a section for each department that can be switches to visible / invisible to the galaxy like forum threads for ministers only.
Of course it shouldnt keep every change logged like : " GC changed galaxyname to "woot woot" 27/2/2006 " but at least the trade history, when a planet arrived in the galaxy or has been exiled, which planets received donations from the galaxyfund etc
Maybe it would be nice to have a score and roidgraph as well to see how good the galaxy performed in the last week.
there is probably a lot more stuff to add that i cant think of right now :P
bye

Re: MoD News Highlight
Well, to avoid the obvious "skinning" issues, there is plenty of room on the Politics page for everyone except the GC iirc - perhaps that would be where galactic news items can be stored (but default hidden) unless you click a "Show Galactic News" button, which then un-hides it.

Another thing is that tool-sites may not be found by new players as easy as it seems to most of the older players. It's like an open secret that everyone who plays for a round knows but nobody tells to new players. Shouldnt be too hard to implement it into PA as the code for bcalcs should be basically public ...
again we could add a long list about other stuff here like alliance tools for example.
Without the community effort done by a few great techies out there PA would be a different game that probably most of us wouldnt bother to play because it doesnt offer enough features to support the gameplay.
Thx to everyone again who puts in time voluntarily to improve the game experience!

Re: MoD News Highlight
aha... its a nice idea, but we will need more $ and the game would cost more. it would all be good, but (from what i know) its not as simple as that

Re: MoD News Highlight
Maybe when a trade or donation has happened the News lights up Green instead of Red.
I'm MoD and being cov op'd occasionally, so it would be nice to have a difference between a friendly news item and a hostile action

Re: MoD News Highlight
Hmm something to be done about the MoD news-spam would be nice, as it can be quite iritating and if im ever made MoD i ask for it to be removed. But as ministers have such small importance in the game at the mo i dont see it as a real problem as if no1 wants the MoD position a nubbie pe0n ingal always wants the pretty colours and doesnt realize its a bogus position. But if its easy to code in i cant see any harm of it..

Re: MoD News Highlight
People actually avoid the Minister position because of it, that's the main issue really.

Don't make me get yahwe to explain the use of legal to you. It's just 'legal' doesn't quite fit in with PA, its hardly likely the police are going to visit you if you post an IRC log thats too long.
